John 1:20-22
The Voice
John the Baptist: 20 I’m not the Anointed One, if that is what you are asking.
Religious Leaders: 21 Your words sound familiar, like a prophet’s. Is that how we should address you? Are you the Prophet Elijah?
John the Baptist: No, I am not Elijah.
Religious Leaders: Are you the Prophet Moses told us would come?
John the Baptist: No.
Religious Leaders: 22 Then tell us who you are and what you are about because everyone is asking us, especially the Pharisees, and we must prepare an answer.
John 1:20-22
New International Version
20 He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.”(A)
21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”(B)
He said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”(C)
He answered, “No.”
22 Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
